C17 Not the Slightest Bit off

"Little Fox, I can't let him lose his life for me." Shuangyao used her hand to stroke the white tiger's fur, and stared blankly at a certain place in the courtyard.

The white tiger sensed the change in Shuangyao's mood and straightened its body. It rubbed Shuangyao's hand and roared.

Shuangyao came back to her senses and frowned, "You don't need to do it. I can handle this small matter by myself." She took out her small fragrance pouch and counted the venomous insects on it. She bit her teeth and a trace of frustration flashed across her eyes.

"I forgot to practice venomous insects during this period of time, and I don't have much left." She gently rubbed the bottle with her finger and suddenly retracted her hand in pain. She stared at her finger and frowned, but her body did not show any abnormalities.

It was midnight and there was no light in the night.

Shuangyao walked towards the prison cell of the Southern Pacifying King's Mansion in a black dress.

Unlike the dark surroundings around her, the door of the prison cell was brightly lit. There were many people patrolling with serious expressions and no signs of sleepiness.

Shuangyao stuck her head out and looked around for a while. She was worried that she would be detected, so she retracted her head lightly. She leaned against the bone-chilling wall and thought about the times she had seen it. She counted in her heart and suddenly stuck her head out again. It was exactly the same as what she had thought.

She raised the wooden barrel in her hand and lowered her eyes. She opened the wooden plug and threw it into the garden.

After a moment, a rustling sound came from the darkness. The corner of Shuangyao's mouth slightly curved and she whistled silently. A little bird with a few traces of intelligence stood on Shuangyao's arm.

He tied the small bottle to the bird's feet and said softly, "Go."

The bird stopped in the air for a while, then turned to the door of the prison cell and kept circling in the air. The powder in the small bottle slowly fell on the bodies of those people. It was silent and unknowingly.

Shuangyao watched as the insects crawled out of the ground and headed toward the prison cell.

"What is this? Damn it!"

The guard patted his neck. He felt sticky on his hands. After he patted his neck, he still felt the same sensation.

He looked at the palm of his hand. There was green slime and the remains of the insects. He noticed that the surrounding brothers were starting to get restless. He frowned and looked at the dark place in front of him. The insects kept crawling out and headed in this direction.

"Damn it, hurry up and get a torch to burn these things."

However, he didn't expect that in the midst of the panic, he would flip the brazier over. The fire gradually spread to the door of the prison cell. The thick smoke kept floating in the air. The corner of Shuangyao's mouth curled up slightly.

Even the heavens were helping her. She was determined to get this person.

"Ahem. Who knocked down the brazier? Hurry up and put it out."

The guard saw that the situation was not right and immediately looked for the servants to put out the fire.

Many of the prisoners in the cell escaped with the help of the fire.

"Who are you? Why are you saving me?" The assassin's spine was broken. He was covered in blood and weakly laid on the ground. He looked at Shuangyao who was looking down at him with a vacant gaze and asked.

Shuangyao covered her face and lowered her voice as she shouted in a hoarse voice, "Cut the crap and leave this place quickly."

After saying that, she helped the assassin to make a hole in the roof with the chaotic scene and flew away with the others.

Yue Qing narrowed her eyes viciously and turned around to walk towards Liye's study. The corner of her mouth carried a sinister and arrogant smile. Suddenly, she thought of the Empress and turned back to her own courtyard.

Standing on the street, Shuangyao looked around and suddenly remembered that she had nowhere to place this person. She frowned in embarrassment.

"You can just put me in the City God Temple. Thank you for saving me. If I don't die, I will definitely repay you for saving my life."

Lin Mo pursed his dry lips. When Shuangyao helped him up, he could feel that the person under him was a little shorter than him. His eyes and aura were familiar, but this person was covered in a mask, so he could not compare with the person in his memory.

Moreover, that person had already died. Now that his corpse was placed in the Southern Pacifying King's Mansion, how could it be that person?

Lin Mo's lips twitched sadly. His tone was filled with sorrow and despair as he said, "Brother, the Southern Pacifying King will not let me go. You should leave quickly. He will find you soon."

"Shut up. Since I risked my life to save you, your life belongs to me. From now on, you must listen to me."

Shuangyao thought for a while. The most dangerous place was the safest place. There was already a place to hide, so what else was there to look for? She then brought her people back to the courtyard.

"No, no, how did you bring me back to your room?"

Lin Mo struggled weakly. Shuangyao pretended not to feel anything and placed him in a secure place. "You rest here first. This is a golden medicine. You just need to apply it yourself."

Lin Mo was completely unprepared, so Shuangyao took off the black cloth on her face.

Lin Mo's eyes widened in disbelief. "It's you."

"It's me. Don't make any noise." She warned him and turned around to close the door of the secret passage and walked out.

Just as Shuangyao walked out, she didn't even have time to sit down before she saw Jun Liye striding in with big strides. The moment he entered, he grabbed her by the neck.

"Is it you?"

Shuangyao struggled to pull the corner of her mouth. Her face turned red as she stood up straight. "Jun Liye, if you want to strangle me to death, then do it now."

Jun Liye was extremely unhappy with Shuangyao's fearless attitude. He threw her onto the dressing table and slowly landed on the ground.

The white tiger rushed in anxiously. "Wuuu!"

He touched Shuangyao with his nose and turned around. He opened his mouth wide and roared at Jun Liye with a fierce look in his eyes. His movements were ready to strike.

"Fox, I'm fine." Shuangyao put her hand on the white tiger's body and sat up slowly. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled.

"Did you kill your former princess like that too?"

Shuangyao looked at Jun Liye's stiff face with satisfaction and said provocatively again, "Since you killed her, why did you revive her?"

"I warn you not to meddle in other people's business."

Turning around, Jun Liye ran away with his tail between his legs and left Shuangyao's courtyard.

The next day.

Yue Qing, dressed in white, knelt in front of the Bodhisattva with sincerity. She closed her eyes and waved the wooden bucket in her hand.

"What happened in the Southern Pacifying King's Mansion last night?"

The entire capital could not ignore the raging fire. The Crown Princess received Yue Qing's message and disguised herself before heading to Qingyuan Temple.

Hearing that, Yue Qing's hand that was waving the wooden bucket paused for a moment, then she shook it hard and dropped a wooden stick.
